I inadvertently submitted my application, I didn't realize that after adding one school, AMCAS immediately takes you into the submission process. Everything is mostly ok.

The problem is that one of my work experiences, listed as a Hobby, had blank contact person/info. However, I condensed several of these into this one experience, and I listed contact info from another activity in the description text box.

This was just a hobby, and not a most meaningful experience. Will this get my application into the reject pile? Expert opinions @Goro @gyngyn @Faha ?

Thank you
 
Haven't a clue.

Next time, be more careful. I can understand how easy it is to slip up. Last night my wife was booking some hotel reservations for July 22. Trouble is, she accidentally booked us for 7/17 and 20, when we already had those nights in different hotels! Luckily, hotels.com is easier to work with than AMCAS

Its hard for me to understand exactly what you are saying. If it was a hobby then you do not have to list contact information (if you selected "hobby" as the type of experience). Either way, it doesn't seem like this is a huge deal. Perhaps make a note when you can in secondaries if it makes you feel better.
 
There was a space available for contact info that I definitely left blank, even though it was classified as a hobby.

Now that the initial panic is gone, I think you're right, it's not a huge deal. Because of the experience, it could probably be interpreted several ways before it's interpreted as a crappy application.

You dont put down contacts for hobbies.
 
Hobby: I like playing guitar
Contact: Guy who witnessed me playing guitar that one time.
